If I grow 2 cm I'll forget about LL

Quote from: IwannaBeTaller on October 02, 2020, 06:37:10 PMI thought you lived in a 'sh*thole country', surely the average could be below 5'10 there, no?

No but I used to. Yes the average is below 5'10" from where I am form, but I was still considered short back there since it's a developing country there was a huge disparity between the old generation and the new so the country's average height belies the fact that my peer group's average was 5'9".

If I were at average height I couldn't forget it because my mother-in-law required a very tall guy so I still needed 5cm or so.

It is not a big difference. I'm 5' 7" and have 5' 6" friends. It doesn't feel like a big difference.

I also feel short. I would be comfortable lengthening to 5' 10" on femurs, which would translate to 178cm. That height is above average yet still not insanely tall.

I wish I could be 190cm, but beggars can't be choosers.

yeah I have evolved since I made that post I'm now 5'6.5" midday and look 5'7" with my footwear advantage and I still feel short but then when I use lifts to look 5'8" I don't feel short at all anymore
5'10" is decent but it's bang on average among young white people and above average in Asia where I live, that's my goal as well

At 5' 10", it wouldn't look as brutal standing next to a 6' 3" person as it would when you're 5' 7" tbh.

Plus with shoelifts at 5' 10", you can easily be 6' 1". Perfect height.

not really, most "3 inch shoe lifts" actually give 1.5" of height so you'll look at most 6ft which is still good

at my current height it feels brutal even standing next to a 5'10-11 person indeed

What do you mean you have evolved? You grew taller?
